My son and daughter went to st AUBYNS's, school would not push your child, my son failed all the 11 plus exams, Headmaster was not sympathetic at all, he has a click of parents he favours, my personal opinion, not that it helps to get into a good school, in terms of reference yes, if you get what i mean.

We withdrew our dd, and sent her to a good state primary school, teacher was really surprised that she was not pushed at all, a lot of parents withdrew their DC that year, to either go to another private or state school
